Only 25 to 50% of giraffe calves reach adulthood; the life expectancy is between 20 and 25 years in the wild and 28 years in captivity. The giraffe browses on the twigs of trees, preferring plants of the Mimosa genus; but it appears that it can, without inconvenience, live on other vegetable food.
Their favorites are apples, bananas, and carrots. The life span for giraffes in captivity isnât increased much though. In the wild they can live from 15 to 25 years. In captivity that increases from about 32 to 40 years. The biggest change here is that the young have a better chance of living to adulthood.
